Sky Zone Trampoline Park will open this week and hold a grand opening Friday with former Green Bay Packers player LeRoy Butler recreating his famous Lambeau Leap into a foam pit.

The new 20,000-square-foot facility has wall-to-wall trampolines, dodge ball courts and foam pits designed to combat cabin fever. It’s at 3169 W. Van Roy Road in Buchanan, in the multi-tenant strip mall on the east side of Festival Foods.

Sky Zone is a national chain based in Los Angeles that got TV exposure on “Undercover Boss.”

In the Fox Cities, it’s the second trampoline park to open, following Xtreme Air.

“We’re the second one to the market, but we’re still getting a buzz. We’re anxious to jump in with both feet,” said Paul Lushin, majority franchise owner who has another Sky Zone in Elmhurst, IL. He said a number of veterans are minority owners in this $1.8 million investment.

Appleton, he said, was a good bet because of the need for indoor family activities.

“The weather draws us here, and its a wholesome family atmosphere,” he said. His third park begins construction in Madison this spring.

General manager Mike Hesler said those who want to jump should first go online to www.skyzone.com/appleton to sign the required waiver and book guaranteed jump times.

The cost to jump is $9 for 30 minutes, $12 for 60, $16 for 90 and $20 for 120. Jumpers are required to buy and wear special $2 socks. The weight limit is 300 pounds. Its capacity is 125 jumpers, and there’s a separate lounge for parents.

Jumpers are grouped on trampolines by age. “That’s for safety and fun reasons,” said Hesler. A separate time is set aside several mornings for toddlers and moms.

Hesler said the facility hired 80 part-time workers, and most are part-time students who work as court monitors, birthday party hosts, event assistants and cashiers.

Hours: Open 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 4 to 10:30 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. Closed Mondays for maintenance and cleaning. See www.skyzone.com/appleton or Facebook for more information or call 920-351-4441.
